Objective To construct machine learning models based on preoperative inflammatory and radiological features for the prediction of glioma grading and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status, and to analyze application values of these models and identify the optimal predictive models. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of pathologically confirmed glioma patients admitted to Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from March 2019 to March 2023. LASSO regression was used to screen feature variables, and predictive models were constructed based on logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), gradient boosting decision tree (XGBoost) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms. The model performance was comprehensively evaluated using metrics including discrimination ability, area under the precision-recall curve (AUC), accuracy, F1 score and Brier score. The DeLong test was adopted to compare the AUC values among different models; Friedman rank-sum test was used to determine the overall performance differences of the models, with the Nemenyi test applied for multiple comparison correction. Results In the task of glioma grading prediction, the LR model achieved the highest comprehensive score (0.726), and no significant difference was observed between the LR model and the other four models; age was positively correlated with glioma grading (P=0.003). In the task of IDH mutation status prediction, the XGBoost model obtained the highest comprehensive score (0.832), which was superior to the LR (0.762, P=0.035) and KNN models (0.754, P=0.025), while no statistical differences were found between the XGBoost model and the RF or SVM models. Conclusions The LR model for glioma grading prediction and XGBoost model for IDH mutation prediction constructed based on a task-oriented strategy achieve a favorable interpretability while ensuring optimized performance, thereby providing reliable decision support for the individualized diagnosis and treatment of glioma.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics as well as molecular epidemiological features of resis-tance genes and virulence genes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection in a region,and provide scientific basis for the prevention,treatment,and epidemiological study of CRKP.Methods 60 non-repeti-tive CRKP strains isolated clinically from Puyang Oilfield General Hospital from November 2023 to September 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using VITEK 2 Compact automa-tic microbial analyzer,K-B disk diffusion method,and micro-broth dilution method.Mucus phenotype of bacterial strains was identified by string test.Carbapenemase was detected by carbapenemase inhibitor enhancement assay.Molecular features,such as multi-locus sequence typing(MLST),capsule serotypes,resistance genes,virulence genes,plasmid replication types of strains,as well as the genetic and evolutionary relationships of strains were de-termined by whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.Results CRKP strains were mainly isolated from elderly male hospitalized patients.Specimens were mostly from sputum(71.67％),mainly distributed in depart-ment of respiratory medicine(30.00％).All strains were highly resistant to multiple commonly used antimicrobial agents,only with high susceptibility rates to cefotaxime/avibactam,tigecycline,and polymyxin B(＞60.00％).Two CRKP strains were positive for string test.95.00％of the strains produced class A serine carbapenemase.All strains carried fluoroquinolone,phosphomycin,β-lactam,and aminoglycoside resistance genes;enterobactin,Esche-richia coli common pilus(ECP),and outer membrane protein-related virulence genes;as well as plasmids from the IncF plasmid family.Carbapenemase gene was mainly blaKPC-2(95.00％),and the major capsule serotype was KL19(43.33％).In MLST,ST11(51.67％)was the dominant clone group,and ST11-KL62(n=12)was the dominant subtype.Conclusion CRKP in this hospital is highly resistant to multiple commonly used antimicrobial agents,and its mechanism of resistance to carbapenems is mainly related to the presence of blaKPC-2 resistance gene.All strains have coexisting multiple resistance genes and virulence genes,and show a phenomenon of multi-clone transmission.ST11 is the dominant clone group,and ST11-KL62 is the main prevalent subclone type.

Objective To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of SOX4 in Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)-mediated gastric mucosal epithelial dysplasia.Methods The expression of SOX4 in gastric tissues and cells was analyzed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),Western blotting,and immunohistochemical staining.The effects of SOX4 on gastric epithelial cell proliferation and colony formation were determined with CCK-8 and colony formation assays.A PCR array was used to screen downstream target genes involved in H.pylori-induced dysplasia mediated by SOX4.The transcriptional regulation and binding sites of the target gene MLH3 by SOX4 were elucidated with luciferase reporter assay,promoter truncation assay,and chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP).Results SOX4 expression was significantly increased in H.pylori-infected gastric tissues(P<0.05).Overexpression of SOX4 markedly enhanced the proliferation and colony formation abilities of normal gastric epithelial cells(P<0.05).Elevated SOX4 led to the dysregulation of MLH3 and other DNA damage repair-related molecules after H.pylori infection in gastric epithelial cells(|logFC|>1,P<0.05).H.pylori promoted MLH3 expression in gastric epithelial cells through SOX4.SOX4 transcriptionally activated MLH3 expression by binding to the 5th site of the MLH3 promoter.The increased expression of SOX4 and MLH3 is associated with poor prognosis of gastric cancer patients.Conclusion SOX4 is closely associated with H.pylori-induced dysplasia in gastric epithelial cells.Upregulation of SOX4 promotes H.pylori-related dysplasia by transcriptionally activating MLH3,leading to the imbalance of proliferation and colony formation in gastric epithelial cells.

Reporting guidelines are structured checklists for researchers to follow when reporting spe-cific types of studies.As researches conducted in real-world settings to address practical issues,implementa-tion research has stringent requirements for the replicability of result and the transparency of reporting,making its reporting guidelines particularly important.This paper systematically introduces the reporting guidelines in the field of implementation science,outlines their classification systems and scopes of applica-tion,and focuses on explaining the core characteristics and functions of five key reporting guidelines,inclu-ding the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies(StaRI),Reporting guidelines for implementation and operational research,the Template for Intervention Description and Replication(TIDieR),the Frame-work for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced(FRAME),and recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies.Furthermore,combined with the PEDALs research paradigm in im-plementation science,this paper further clarifies the specific application pathways for reporting guidelines and discusses directions for refinement,aiming to provide references for researchers to select appropriate reporting guidelines.

Objective To explore the association between the growth condition of mandibular third molars(M3)and the parameters of mandibular dental arch through a retrospective cross-sectional study on M3 in adults,and to provide a basis for the selection of clini-cal treatment of M3.Methods A total of 221 adult patients were randomly selected for our study.Dolphin software was used to analyze the CBCT of all the patients.Parameters of the mandibular dentition including the entire dental crowding(EDC)were recorded.Then the association between M3 growth condition and these parameters was analyzed.Results The mesio-impacted angle of M3 was posi-tively correlated with EDC(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with the retromolar space(RMS,P＜0.0 1).It was worth noting that me-dian mesio-impacted M3 significantly increased EDC(P＜0.01),and the erupting M3 in the vertical orthotopic position significantly in-creased RMS(P＜0.01).Conclusion For patients with median mesio-impacted M3 or insufficient RMS,preventive removal of M3 may be considered clinically,which may help to reduce crowding and prevent relapse after orthodontic treatment.

Objective:To explore the neuropathological characteristics of brain tissues from autopsy of patients with schizophrenia.Methods:Forty-two autopsy cases from National Human Brain Bank for Health and Disease, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2013 to December 2024 were selected as research subjects, among which, 21 were schizophrenia patients(schizophrenia group) and 21 were non-schizophrenia patients (non-schizophrenia group). Clinical data of patients from the two groups were compared. HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes such as infarction, hemorrhage and arteriosclerosis in the brain tissues, silver-nitrate staining was used to detect the amyloid plaques in the brain tissues, Congo red staining was used to detect the pathological changes related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in the brain tissues, modified Gallyas silver staining was used to detect the neurofibrillary tangles in the brain tissues, and immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of phosphorylated tau protein, β-amyloid protein (Aβ), TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), and α-synuclein in the brain tissues. Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change (ADNC), primary age-related tauopathy (PART), limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), aging-related tau astrogliopathy (ARTAG), Lewy body disease (LBD), and cerebrovascular disease (CVD)-related pathological changes in the brain tissues were evaluated, and differences in positive rates of the above pathological changes were compared.Results:No significant difference in gender, age of death, brain weight, or apolipoprotein E genotype was noted between the schizophrenia group and non-schizophrenia group ( P>0.05). Six schizophrenia patients exhibited low-to-intermediate ADNC, including 4 with low ADNC and 2 with intermediate ADNC. Compared with the non-schizophrenia group, the positive rates of ADNC- and CVD-related pathological changes in the schizophrenia group were significantly higher (0 vs. 28.6%; 9.5% vs. 47.6%, P<0.05). No significant differences in positive rates of PART-, LATE-, ARTAG-, and LBD-related pathological changes were noted between the schizophrenia group and non-schizophrenia group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Schizophrenia patients show high proportions of ADNC- and CVD-related pathological changes, but relatively low ADNC severity.

Objective To investigate the effects of composite nanoparticles E/Ce@MCSNs loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG)and cerium dioxide(CeO2)on the odonto/osteogenic differentiation of human stem cells from the apical papilla(SCAPs)and macrophage polarization under inflammatory conditions.Methods E/Ce@MCSNs were synthesized and characterized.Cell viabil-ity of SCAPs and RAW 264.7 cells treated with varying concentrations of E/Ce@MCSNs was assessed via CCK-8 assay.The antioxidant enzyme-mimetic activity of E/Ce@MCSNs was evaluated.Under simulated inflammatory conditions,intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging capacity was measured via DCFH-DA fluorescent probe.Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining/activity,alizarin red staining/semi-quantitative analysis,and RT-qPCR were performed to detect odonto/osteogenic differentiation markers,in-cluding dentin sialoprotein(DSPP),ALP,runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx-2),type Ⅰ collagen(COL-Ⅰ),and osteopontin(OPN)in SCAPs.The effects of E/Ce@MCSNs on the odontogenic/osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs under this condition were eval-uated.RT-qPCR were used to analyze cytokine expression(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,iNOS,TGF-β,IL-10)and secreted TNF-α/IL-6 levels in RAW264.7 cells.The concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 in cell cul-ture supernatants were measured by ELISA.Results E/Ce@MCSNs exhibited excellent biocompatibility at concentrations≤100 μg/mL.They demonstrated potent ROS-scavenging activity(P＜0.05)and sig-nificantly enhanced ALP activity(P＜0.001),promoted calcium nodule formation(P＜0.001),and upregulated odonto/osteogenic gene expression(DSPP,ALP,Runx-2,COL-Ⅰ,OPN)in SCAPs under inflammatory conditions(P＜0.05).In RAW264.7 cells,E/Ce@MCSNs downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6,iNOS)(P＜0.01)and upregulated anti-inflammatory factors(TGF-β,IL-10)(P＜0.001),while reducing TNF-α and IL-6 secretion(P＜0.001).Conclusion E/Ce@MCSNs exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in apical periodontitis by scavenging excessive ROS,thereby promoting odonto/osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs.
